## Summary

The Common Services Agency, known as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed the procurement process for the "Security Testing Service for NHS Scotland." This contract involves a fully managed security testing service intended for all Scottish Health Boards. The procurement, managed centrally by the Centre of Excellence for Cyber Security (CCoE), was conducted through an open procedure, specifically under a framework agreement. The service will take place in the UK region (UKM), with its award notice dated 3rd July 2025. The contract, valued at £398,000, was signed on 1st July 2025, and Computacenter was selected as the supplier via this award against a software value-added reseller framework.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in cybersecurity and IT services. Organisations capable of delivering comprehensive security solutions and operating under framework agreements will find this type of tender beneficial. Although Computacenter, a large-scale enterprise, secured the contract, the procurement process encourages competition, especially in future opportunities as NHS Scotland aims to continue this project beyond the initial 12 months. This creates an avenue for companies of all sizes to partake in upcoming tenders intended for the period of 2026-27.

## Notice

The National Security Testing Service contract covers a fully managed, autonomous security testing service for all Scottish Health Boards. This service is centrally managed by the CCoE and delivered by a specialized provider.
